Wow, everyone seems to have missed the true winner of most outrageous prediction in this thread! Shams wins it with the 400m number =)
@JohnLucas,
Welcome back =)
You made a good run at the title this time around but I have to say I think I still get to keep it since if you look at attach ratios on mega-selling systems (ie PS2) it becomes apparent that I might actually need 240m wii sales in order for my prediction to become true.
Then again your prediction is far more solidified, you are assuring it where as I was saying it was an outside chance. Hmmm this might be a close one =P
@SSJ,
Are those serious predictions? Not trying to be rude but those are CRAZY! There are at least 3 systems out of the ones you predicted that will be off by 20% or more.
@erikguy,
Welcome to the boards!
I can appreciate that you have issues with the Wii, but honestly all of the things you listed were either opinions (ie "lack of good games", "TP is bad") or such minor issues that I have heard nobody complain until you did (ie "Lack of color choices", "VC problems").
Seriously, not everyone is going to like/dislike the things you do and most people recognize that colors will come in time and until then you can purchase skins to put on your Wii. But I have to say I don't know of anyone who would say "Man that console looks fun but it just doesn't come in any colors I like so...oh well...maybe next gen...". And finally the VC issues are either so new nobody here has heard of them or so minor nobody here noticed/cared.
In short, I think you make a weak argument and I think you have yet to give the Wii a fair chance. Hopefully you will and you will figure out why people love the Wii so much. Until then though perhaps you should create a thread for your issues specifically so you can discuss them without taking away from this topic and so you don't have to try and talk over this discussion.
